Project Description

View help for Summary
This paper reports the results of a large-scaled randomized controlled
experiment comparing the public and private provision of counseling
to job seekers. The intention-to-treat estimates of both programs are
not statistically different, but more workers were enrolled in the private program, implying an effect per beneficiary that is twice as large under the public as under the private program. We find suggestive evidence that the private firms may have insufficiently mastered the counseling technology, and exercised less effort on those who had the best chance to find a job. This highlights the incentive problems in designing contracts for these services.
